Browsing for Fox Bodies led me to this.

I had never seen these Mercury's before, they look amazing.

Add another spot to my fantasy garage.

Wasn't that the Capri?

Mercury Capri! A buddy of mine use to have one of these back in the day. He totalled it not long after putting it on the bottle.

I love me some Capri. The Fairmont is another forgotten Fox. I'd love to build an SVT Cobra Fairmont wagon. I think they even made a Ranchero version of it.

Yup! It's like the Mustang's fancy older brother. It just looks amazing.

That is beautiful.

What a damn shame.

I've even seen Mustang noses grafted on to Fairmont sedans.

Why do you tempt me with such imagery?

It was to be expected. I think we where 15 or 16. Generally fox bodies, nitrous, and teenagers mixed together ends badly.

Because it's in my phone tempting me!

Fair(mont) enough.

Unsurprisingly, lol.

Maybe we can both own one in the Futura.

The bubble hatch Capri kicks ass.
I'm trying to find a pic of a buddy's drag car now.

Fun fact.
In Mexico, the Mustang Hatchback used a Capri body with a Mustang nose and the Notchback used a Capri nose on the Mustang body.

As long as fate isn't CAPRIcious.

Just imaging cruising around listening to Duran Durango ...hehe puns.

Or heading to the pub for a Pinto' beer.

We'd have Granada ol' time (that was a stretch).

I've always loved the fender flares on these. I'd like to get an 86 with the 5.0 HO EFI and of course a five speed.

Especially if we hire some Escorts.

I've always wanted a Fox Capri over a Fox Mustang….I mean I've never wanted a Fox body very much, but when the allure of 5.0 V8 for $1500 comes around, I feel the Capri that much more

That and the seemingly infinite aftermarket available.
